Transporting
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
•
Reduce ground speed when turning and leave enough
clearance to avoid making contact with obstacles such as
buildings, trees, fences, etc. Making contact can result in
equipment damage and cause serious injury or death.
1. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another.
2. Transport with Snow Pusher low to the ground to
maintain stability of the tractor.
3. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning, and
leave enough clearance so the Snow Pusher does
not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees,
fences, etc.
4. Keep away from electrical power lines. Place an
orange warning sign under overhead power lines
indicating type of danger above.
5. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
6. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.
Tractor Shutdown Procedures
The following are basic tractor shutdown procedures.
Follow these procedures and any additional shutdown
procedures provided in your tractor Operator’s Manual
before leaving the operator’s seat.
1. Reduce engine speed and shut-off all power to the
attachment.
2. Park tractor and attachment on solid, level ground.
3. Lower attachment until it is flat on the ground or on
non-concrete support blocks.
4. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off engine,
and remove switch key to prevent unauthorized
starting.
5. Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic
lines.
6. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop
before leaving the operator’s seat.

stepping on and off the tractor.
Hook-Up Snow Pusher
Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 11:
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking
attachment. Do not allow anyone to stand between attachment
and power machine while approaching or backing away from
the attachment. Do not operate lift and/or tilt controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause the
attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate and fall.
The Snow Pusher is designed to attach to tractor loaders
equipped with a universal quick-attach hitch.
1. Check for and remove any debris in the hitch point
areas before hooking up to the Snow Pusher.
2. If needed, pull lock handles up on universal quick-
attach hitch until lock pins are fully raised.
3. Rotate top of loader tilt arms slightly forward.
4. Carefully and slowly approach Snow Pusher with the
loader hitch centered on the Snow Pusher. Make
sure the universal quick-attach hitch is parallel with
the Snow Pusher top angle bar.
5. Place top of universal quick-attach hitch under the
top angled bar.
6. Slowly lift universal quick-attach hitch up until quick-
attach hitch and top angle bar have come together. Do
not raise loader arms higher.
7. Rotate top of universal quick-attach hitch back to
align bottom slots in Snow Pusher with lock pins.
8. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting to
complete hook-up. Refer to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedures” on this page.
9. Push lock handles on the universal quick-attach hitch
down until lock pins fully extend through bottom slots
in the Snow Pusher. Make sure lock handles are
locked into position to keep pins from backing out.
